#9. Water-bottle method: Why should you drink water in a water bottle?

Liquid water is the vital fluid for human life. Do you know? About 60% of our body is filled with water with the highest concentration of 83% in the lungs. For this reason, our parents and doctors advise us to drink enough water daily. When we go outside home, we carry a water bottle–a simple tool to hold water. What if I tell you the simple tool has special benefits? Yes. In this post, I will tell you the secret benefits of the water-bottle method, and I have used this method for about 2 years now.

First, our main objective is to have enough water for the day. Experts suggest that a healthy man should drink 3.7 litres a day and a healthy woman should drink 2.7 litres a day. Of course, it includes food items that have water content in it. Even if we reduce a litre of water as it is in-built in food items and beverages, still we should drink plenty of water. So, how should we go about it? The easy way to do it is to have a 1-litre water bottle nearby whether you are working, playing, chatting on phone, surfing on social media etc. How will a water bottle help? It constantly reminds you that you should drink enough water daily.

In total, the water bottle creates an impulse consuming behaviour inside you.

Second, many jobs are transmuting into desk jobs. The job nature forces people to sit for a long time, sometimes due to compulsion and sometimes due to excitement. Many of us regret taking insufficient breaks in daily work. For example, we forget to stretch our body by sitting in a chair for a long time at the office. If we face work pressure, we even forget to have some snacks. In such cases, have you ever felt if I had known I have been sitting for so many hours, I could have done something to correct it? Largely, the problem is the nature of work; it consumes our time and we are unaware of the passing hours. All this leads to health-related problems as age progresses. So, what’s the solution? Keep a water bottle nearby and just drink water. You have no other option but to answer nature calls! It’s as simple as that. You can even get excused from meeting as you are heading only to the restroom.

Overall, drink water while you are superb busy and you will get a pee break!

Finally, it’s easy for you to keep track of daily water consumption if you use a water bottle. Imagine, you have a 1-litre water bottle with you. You should focus on refilling the bottle thrice a day to drink 3 litres of water. Of course, one could argue why I cannot do all these suggestions with a jar or some other water container. For those of you, I would give you an analogy. If someone asks me to touch my nose, I will lift my hand and touch it. However, that is not the only way. You can even touch your nose by circling your back head. So, the choice is yours!

In summary, having a water bottle nearby prompts you to drink water. The more you drink, the more pee breaks you get. Your focus is shifted away from work, and you can stretch your body. Also, the water bottle method helps to track daily consumption easily.

Thanks for reading the full article. I hope you will appreciate the water-bottle method and follow it in your life. I follow it daily with two 1-litre bottles!
